Noho's Hawaiian Cafe

Slip away to the islands for an afternoon at this casual Northwest microchain, which boast two cafés in Portlandnd one in Medford. The large, tikied-out, palm-tree-appointed back patio at the NE Fremont location invites long lunches of Hawaiian favorites like kahlua pig and loco moco (a fried egg and hamburger patty on a bed of rice, smothered with brown gravy). A fire pit tucked in one corner awaits in case you want to let the day completely get away from you.
